Georgetown Governor's Cup - Day One

Anglers reported kind ocean fishing conditions when they returned to the docks at the 42nd Annual Georgetown Marina Governor's Cup Tournament. Congrats to Big Sky (G'town), El Tejano (Midland, Tx.), Summer Girl (Chas.) and Reel Patience (HHI) for releasing one blue marlin each. Daymaker (G'town) had a banner day with two white marlin releases by Ryan Riggs and the tournament leading 34-pound dolphin caught by Michael Ebert. Anticipation (Murrell's Inlet) and Rookie IV also had one white marlin released. Syked Out (Palm Beach) had one sailfish release. One yellowfin tuna was brought to the scales by Trey Pierce from Christy II (G'town) and weighed 27.9-pounds. Several nice wahoo showed up but none better that the 69.9-pound fatty caught by John Jameson on Brain Storm (Chas.) Ten-year-old Miller Brinson leads youth anglers with his 14.1-pound dolphin caught aboard Frenzy (G'town). These results are UNOFFICIAL at this time.
